We have had our car into the shop 3 times to have the relay replaced in both front and rear. It has come to light that the blower motor has also stopped working and burns out the relays. The blower motor is behind the dash, and therefore is high in repair costs, with regards to labor charges. This should not be happening on this car. The blower motor should be made to last longer, or should be covered under warranty. I have a 1988 Mazda, and have more money vested in the 2001 Caravan, than in the Mazda - that is 13 yrs older! We take great car of our cars (or we would not have a 1988 Mazda!), and do not feel that this is a "normal wear and tear" repair to this vehicle.

So first, the AC stops working.... right in the middle of a Mississippi summer.... My husband determines at some point months down the road that it's the fan not turning causing it not to come on. Out of shear frustration, he kicks the floor board and waaa laaa... fan starts blowing and AC is on full blast. This has worked fine ever since, there is a specific place kinda under the dashboard that kicks it into gear.
Bigger problem now however is that the controller for the cold/hot has decided to become confused. Sometimes the heater will blow cold air, and sometimes the cold side will blow hot air. Only solution we've figured out for this is move the dial thing all the way over to cold, then back over to hot. Sometimes that works, other times, we just have to turn it off and suffer thru the cold...
